It's funny. I follow baseball. Maybe not as much as I used to but I know the best teams and the best players. If a guy plays for 15-20 years and someone has to say "This is why he's a future HOF", I'm not buying it. I missed the guy for 15 years? Seriously? How can anyone believe that?

heck
most of us probably aren't good at evaluating talent
but if any of us bother to comment on this post, we probably watch a ton of baseball and care about it passionately
otherwise, why would we bother with these posts?

evaluating talent is one thing

knowing a HOF when we see him is another animal all together. and frankly, ain't all that hard

Team is playing well overall, but their offense still disappears for massive stretches at a time. 23 innings without scoring a run - yikes. Hard to believe they're 18-8 in their last 26 with no sign of anything from Davis or Cruz. If they show up, and we get late-2013 Ubaldo, I might feel a bit better about this team's chances in the playoffs, but they've got a very big mountain to climb.
